Abstract

We present the apeNEXT project which is currently developing a massively parallel computer with a multi-TFlops performance. Like previous APE machines. the new supercomputer is completely custom designed and is specifically optimized for simulating the theory of strong interactions, quantum chromodynamics (QCD). We assess the performance for key application kernels and make a comparison with other machines used for these kind of simulations. Finally, we give an outlook on future developments
